phone man is correct. Mounting the amp further away will have the same effect as increasing the noise figure of the amplifier. I usually estimate that RG6 will have around 1 dB of insertion loss per 15-18 feet. As long as your location permits the slightly higher effective noise figure, it's a fair trade-off for serviceability.
Here are several tips:
1) The included 3' jumper cables use compression fittings with an interior o-ring. You may have to tighten the connector more than finger tight in order to compress the o-ring in order to achieve a good electrical connection.
2) The power transformer for the CPA19 runs on the warm side. Measured temps of 105-110°F are not uncommon.
